Nashville Pussy, Valient Thorr, Hickoids

When: Thu., Aug. 27, 7 p.m. 2015

Atlanta sleazeballs Nashville Pussy really hit the mark with their band name. Pulled from a Ted Nugent song called “Wang, Dang, Sweet Poontang,” the single-minded silicone rock band puts out wailing and shameless hard rock numbers. Led by bearded singer Valient Himself, the North Carolina native commands his band —composed of instrumentalists all with the last name Thorr — on a Marshall Stack, Southern metal campaign. At varying intervals in the last three decades, San Antonio’s Hickoids have staked their claim over defiantly crass, discomfortingly honest cow punk, borderline parodic country ballads and bluegrass sing-alongs.
